Online RAID Capacity Expansion and Online RAID Level Migration
Online RAID Capacity Expansion
The storage capacity of a RAID configuration can be expanded by replacing the hard drives with larger ones. All the data will be kept and seamlessly moved to the newly installed hard drives. There is no need to turn off the server during the process.
Online RAID Level Migration
Upgrade the disk configuration to higher RAID level with the data retained without turning off the server.
S.M.A.R.T. & Advanced
HDD Health Scanning (HHS)S.M.A.R.T. (Self-Monitoring Analysis and Reporting Technology) helps monitor the hard disk drives status. The VioStor NVR supports HHS (HDD Health Scan) for disk checking and bad blocks scanning.
Automatic System Startup after Power RecoveryThe VioStor NVR supports automatic system startup after a power recovery.

DOM Architecture with Embedded Fail-safe Dual OS for Enhanced Reliability
All the OS and applications of the VioStor NVR are embedded on the DOM. The VioStor NVR allows system booting without accessing the physical disk sectors which prevents unsuccessful system startup caused by bad blocks or file errors on the hard drives. Two operating systems are built on the DOM for system booting alternatively upon every system startup. When one fails, the other one for system startup and the failed OS is recoverable from the other healthy OS.
